Free 2hp 3ph motor

[sid pileski]

Anyone need this? Free, but must pick up.
Probably could ship. (No idea how much)
Motor is brand new basically.
I was going to use it on my 2 x 72 sander, but it’s not really good for that because it’s open.
Would probably be good on a lathe.

I'm wondering if I could adapt that motor to my lathe and do away with the problematic hydraulic variable speed drive.
I could run the motor off my spare vfd.

That would be a perfect replacement for the motor on my drill press. With a VFD it would be a dream.

If you still have it, let me know where you are; via PM if you wish.

You might be too cautious about using it for a sander. I used a tread mill motor on my belt grinder & it's not only open but has a commutator & brushes. It's been running 10 or 20 years without any problems. Your 3 ph motor would be much less susceptible.

No matter what, nice gesture Sid well done, altruism isn’t dead

Are you located close to a line running between Parkersburg WVa and Selina Kansas? I'm taking that drive late next week and I would love to meet a new motor

[sid pileski]

All- thanks for the response. It looks like Joe is going to take it. He contacted me first and live fairly close, so he can pick it up.
for my 2x72 I bought a 2hp TEFC c mount 3ph motor.
going to drive it with a VFD.

Sorry did not realize you have gotten a replacement …dis-regard offer

Im guessing you are thinking about it for the Clausing? I did a vfd conversion on mine when I got it as the hyd speed control had issues. I ended up with a 3hp motor when I did it.

Yes, that's what I'm thinking of. My 5900 has the early version hydraulic cylinder on the motor pulley. There was a change somewhere along the line where that cylinder was replaced with what looked to be a box. Not really sure what they actually did there as I've never seen one first hand, just some pics. Mine is the problematic design and I don't know how much better the later design was. I'm guessing not much because I've seen where a lot of people have completely removed the hydraulic system and went with a 3 phase motor and VFD.
